ABSTRACT An approach to decontamination of biological endospores is discussed. Specifically, the performance of an aqueous modified Fenton reagent is examined. A modified Fenton reagent formulation of cupric chloride, ascorbic acid, and sodium chloride is shown to be an effective sporicide under aerobic conditions. The traditional Fenton reaction involves the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radical by aqueous ionic catalysts such as the transition metal ions. Our modified Fenton reaction involves the conversion of aqueous dissolved oxygen to hydrogen peroxide by an ionic catalyst (Cu2+) and then subsequent conversion to hydroxyl radicals. Results are given for the modified Fenton reagent deactivating spores of Bacillus globigii. A biocidal mechanism is proposed that is consistent with our experimental results and independently derived information found in the literature. This mechanism requires diffusion of relatively benign species into the interior of the spore, where dissolved O2 is then converted through a series of reactions which ultimately produce hydroxyl radicals that perform the killing action.

Abstract In the photolysis of 5-bromouracil containing DNA Br atoms are expected inter mediates. In order to evaluate the possible site of attack of the Br atom at the sugar moiety of DNA the reaction of 2-deoxy-D-ribose with the Br atom (complexed with two bromide ions) was investigated. Hydroxyl radicals generated by the radiolysis of N2O saturated aqueous solutions were converted into Br3·2- radicals by 1 M bromide ions. Br3·2- reacts with 2-deoxy-D-ribose (k = 3.7 · 104M-1s-1, pulse radiolysis). The major product is 2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentonic acid (G = 2.4, γ-radiolysis). It is formed by hydrogen abstraction from C-l and oxidation of this radical by other radicals. An alternative route via the radical at C-2 is neglible. It follows that Br3·2- reacts preferentially at C-1 of 2-deoxy-D-ribose
